I was so excited to watch the new ABC series Scandal, starting one of my favorite actresses Kerry Washington. Shonda Rhimes is the creator/writer for this show (She known for created Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice). Kerry Washington stars as Olivia Pope, a former white house communications director who left her awesome government job for starting her own crisis management firm called Olive Pope and Associates. When things go wrong and you want to avoid scandal and negative press, you call on Olivia and her firm. I think they are "spin doctors". The pilot episode titled “Sweet Baby” premiered last night on ABC. The pilot was really great and they revealed that Olivia Pope had a relationship with the President!!! (Juicy) but she felt betrayed when he slept with one of his female staff members (of course the President is marry).
Each Thursday you can tune in and watch as the team races against the clock to fix new problems before they become disasters, they will also have to fix their own personal issues. As Columbus Short (one of the actors on the show) said that they are 'gladiators in suits'. I will be watching every Thursday.
Did anyone watched the show last night? What do you think?
